“Pretty” 20-Yr-Old Girl Kills Her Dates For Being “Needy”, But Men Want To "Fix Her"

Bada bing, bada boom. >> If you really want to know what somebody. is into, you follow them at night. You. do not follow them throughout the day. Because during the day, we're all doing. things that we don't really want to do, but we kind of have to do. We're going. to work, we're going to school, we're. running errands. But at night, that's. usually when someone makes a choice. Regardless of sleep, the fact that it's. dark outside, I'm going to go outside. and I'm going to do this thing. And taxi. drivers are the ones that get to see all.

of us in our dirty little glory. One. taxi driver says, "You're awake when the. world is asleep. It changes how you see. things." The night shifts. Okay. A lot. of taxi drivers have stated during the. night, people are more open to sharing. things about themselves that they. probably wouldn't during the day. Maybe. because it's dark in the car and they. feel the need to feel the silence all of. a sudden. And you just see weird things. One taxi driver said the strangest. incident that he had was this guy gets. into the back. He makes eye contact. through the rearview mirror. He's got.

this pent up energy like something big. is about to happen. Where too? The whole time he's anxiously. rubbing his hands on his thighs. He's. going to propose to the love of his. life. It's like a beautiful thing to. witness. The driver drops him off, wishes him good luck in the rearview. mirror, and then a few stops later, he. picks up the same man. Now the. destination is a bar. The girl said no. Same person, same night, two very. different car rides. Taxi drivers,

[music] they just know way too much. about people. Not in like the psychic. way, but the observational way, which I. think is arguably a lot creepier. Another one, the same taxi driver had a. woman get into the back of his car. [music] Quote, "She silently cried the. whole time in the back, completely. silent the whole ride, and then just. says, "Thank you for not asking. anything." and then walked away. She. told him, "Thank you for not asking her. if she's okay while she's falling apart. in the back of his car." One finance. executive is picked up and he confesses.

to the taxi driver at 2:00 in the. morning that this is his very first. conversation in months. He doesn't talk. to his wife. He doesn't talk to his. kids. He has no friends. The only people. that he talks to are people at work and. it's mainly through emails. And taxis. all have a very specific smell at 2:00. in the morning. It's usually people. going out in the middle of the night and. for some odd reason they spray a lot. more perfume and cologne at night. Maybe. it's because they haven't showered all. day and they're still headed out or. maybe because they're meeting someone. who's going to be able to smell them.

It's that mixed with the sanitizing. scent of the seats. That's the smell. Except one particular taxi driver in. South Korea. He's on his night shift. when the door opens. Beautiful. 20-year-old woman gets in with two. [music] giant takeout bags of fried. chicken. two heavy bags of fried. chicken. He can smell it. The entire. taxi cab suddenly smells like fried. chicken now. She gets into the car and. the driver is trying his best not to. stare at her chest in the rearview. mirror, but it's just she's wearing a.

very unusually low cut shirt considering. how cold it is outside and it's also the. middle of the night and she's got two. bags of fried chicken and he's picking. her up from a local motel because I. don't know, you know, you can ponder a. bit further. She's the first to talk. Hurry, sir. Go fast. I'm being chased. I'll give you cash. And she's like, "Go, go, go." So, out of just pure instinct, he's stepping on the gas and she's. leaning back, taking a deep breath of. what looks like $100 worth of fried. chicken. And then she starts taking a.

picture. She's almost smirking while. she's typing something out on her phone. And the whole reason that this is odd is. because the driver's on high alert. He's. looking for whoever could be potentially. chasing this young woman in the middle. of the night. Like, what happens if they. catch up? But also, the fried chicken. smell is very distracting. and she said. someone is chasing them. But suddenly, her demeanor is very relaxed in the back. of the car, as if she's just getting a. ride to a local coffee shop at 2:00. p.m., not 2:00 a.m. Everything about. this ride, even though it's not one of. the most outwardly outrageous rides that.

he's had recently, everything about this. ride makes him uncomfortable. He can't. stop thinking about it to the point. where he starts coming up with these. random ideas of why she was in a rush, but not really. He comes up with this. idea. Maybe she wanted him to take her. seriously and rush her home so that she. could eat the fried chicken before it. got cold. But if she had just said that, then he wouldn't have taken her. seriously. So like maybe she just said, "Someone's chasing me.". >> He's like thinking of all these weird. scenarios until he turns on the news one. day and he realizes the woman that he.

picked up that night is the motel serial. killer, the newest female serial killer. of South Korea, the one that nizens have. said is too pretty to go to jail. >> [music]. [music].

Also, keep in mind that. any quotes or statements have been. translated and may be condensed for. brevity. So, with that, let's get. started. Running clubs are like a big. part of South Korea these days. If you. search up running crew on Instagram, you. get at least 200,000 posts from. different running clubs that are packed. with a bunch of young single people. Clothing brands create running clubs in. the city so that you can go run with.

people your age to the point where they. have these organized cops and robbers. games. They do at running gatherings. Okay. So, community message boards will. read, "Anyone up for cops and robbers. tonight at 8:00 p.m. adults only, 20. plus, fast runners welcome.". >> Like, what? It's a game. >> Yeah. So, half the people are cops, the. other half are robbers, and you just. chase each other in the park. And it's a. bunch of like 25year-olds chasing other. 25-year-olds that they just met. This is. like a Korean thing. >> Yeah. And it's like normal people go.

because I think when you think of a. message board like that, maybe in the. States it sounds like not a lot of. normal people will go and you'd be kind. of scared. >> Runners and. >> Yeah. But just lots of normal young. people go because it's so hard to meet. people these days and Korea. There's. also this like contextual nuance of. usually when you meet people in a. serious setting. Everyone wants to know. your age, your income, what you do for a. living, who your parents are. And it's a. very strict society of who you know is. what you are. >> And so this running club, nobody asks. what your job is. You just be chasing.

people. It will be 14° outside and there. will be gatherings of people in their. 20s and 30s outside at the park. And it. looks like some sort of corporate. initiation, [laughter]. but they're just here to play tag in the. freezing cold. It's just are you a cop? Are you a runner? Start running. That's. how younger people in South Korea will. meet people these days. Or you could. make it easier and just go to a hunting. bar. A hunting bar is a bar specifically. set up in Korea for singles to approach. strangers and try to start dates. It's. set up so there's a bunch of tables all.

circling a dance floor and singles will. walk from table to table asking if they. can join them. So sometimes you'll have. like a full table of women and then a. group of men will want to join their. table or tables of men and groups of. women will come up and want to join. their table. >> That's cool. >> Yeah. instead of those singles are. encouraged and it's very normal to go. from table to table. So it's not like oh. you need to know all these people to. make friends at the bar. >> It's like Tinder in real life. >> Yeah. It's like speed dating in real. life. It's weird. >> Yeah. And then sometimes they'll pay for.

the drinks. Sometimes they'll get drunk. and then maybe they'll go to a second. part for like the second half of the. show. I guess they'll go to a separate. bar or a separate club. The hunting bar. is specifically to meet people. But. because you're meeting complete. strangers, it is hard to vouch for. everybody. Sometimes you meet someone at. a hunting bar and you meet them outside. for a secondary date and maybe it's. without the beer all of a sudden or the. dim lights and they're just like a. little weird. They're just weird. As.

dramatically as possible, it's like this. tiny little part of soul is cursed. There's a group of guys. They don't know. each other. They're not friends. They. don't work at the same place, but. they've all been to the local hunting. bars, and after that, they've all been. on some of the worst dates imaginable. I. mean, in the grand scheme of things, is. this the worst thing to happen to a man? No. But these dates, they've just been. so bizarrely odd. It's not even like. your typical uh we just didn't mesh well. and it was a waste of time. It's like,

this is very uncomfortable. I am. contemplating the idea of never dating. again because the idea of going on. another date after this makes them want. to dry heave. Let's start with Adam. These are all fake names because these. people have all maintained anonymity, even in Korean. So, Adam meets up with a. 22-year-old woman. He ends up spending. $213 on a single date, which is fine. But she never said thank you, not even. one time. He paid for everything the. whole night. Not even a thank you. And. that's not the shitty part. The shitty. part is the whole date she's texting.

another man the whole time and he still. spent $213. Ben. Ben, his head is spinning from this. date. Okay, it was like a fake date. He. said 25-year-old woman he's on a date. with. First of all, she doesn't even. seem 25. What's weird is she looks. younger than 25. I mean, she doesn't. look underage, but she looks like maybe. she's like 21, 22. Why would you make. your age older? It doesn't. So, he's. confused by that. Maybe it's the skin. I. don't know. It's weird. Why would you? He doesn't get it. But the whole date.

feels like a prolonged game of two. truths and a lie. Every question he. asks, she'd just be making up stuff on. the spot. and he can tell and he's so. confused why. And it's stuff that it. doesn't make sense that she would lie. He asks her, "How tall are you?" I mean, the evidence is right there. It's hard. to lie about how tall you are when. you're standing right in front of that. person. And it's clear that she's. perhaps 5'7, maybe even pushing 5'8. And. in Korea, a woman being taller is a good. thing. She's like, "I'm 5'4." He's like,

"No, the you're not." I'm so. confused. He's just confused. >> But like the woman is not taller than. the guy. You're saying she's just like a. tall Okay. Okay. >> She's a tall woman and that's usually. seen as a very positive thing in Korea. to be tall. It's almost modelque, right? But she's lying and saying she's 5'4". for genuinely no reason at all. And he's. standing right there. He's like, "I see. you. I can see how tall you are and I. know you're not 5'4. I don't. understand." She's just blatantly. telling so many lies with so many.

inexplicable inconsistencies. Even a. toddler would think that she's a. pathological liar. and she's so. straightfaced with it, he can't even. call her out. Also, she doesn't pay for. a single thing. She orders the most. expensive items on the menu and she. doesn't finish any of the food that. she's eating before she just ravages. more food by asking the waiter to get. another plate of this. She's adding on. to the order throughout the date, even. though she's not even done eating. Not. once does she say thank you. But the. oddest thing is, quote, "Despite all of.

this, she came to the date in extremely. revealing clothing on a bitterly cold. day. Like her entire chest is out." And. he tells her multiple times like, "Oh, zip your jacket, but cuz we're about to. go outside and it's the wind is so cold. You should zip up your jacket.". Eventually, he's getting tapped up. It's. like, "That's so frustrating." Like, just watching you makes me cold. So, he. reaches over and just zips up his jacket. himself cuz he's like, "Lady, think for. a second. you're about to get sick. And. she irritably unzips it all the way down. so her cleavage is back out and just.

glares at him. And he's like, I wasn't. even I thought I was being a gentleman. trying to make sure that you're not. getting sick. I'm so confused. Then. another guy, Ethan, he meets a girl at. the club. They start texting and she. tells him in a romantic way, "I want to. see the beach." They plan a day trip to. a local beach. While they're there, she. says she has no money and he's like, "Then why'd you come to the beach, bitch?" Okay, he it's fine. He pays for. all the food, all the beverages while. they're there, which is fine, but she's. ordering ungodly amounts of food. And. then when they go to the convenience.

store to grab waters and coffee, she. starts adding in like regular house. things that she wants, like little. detergent, vitamins, feminine hygiene. items, lip balms, face masks, skin care, just random things that has nothing to. do with Ethan, and then just forces him. to pay for it. Okay, >> but I guess Ethan is still really into. her because he still meets up with her. one more time after this god-awful beach. trip. She comes over to his house for. dinner and when she leaves, he realizes. two things in his house are missing. A.

baseball hat, like a cap, and a. Starbucks gift card with $33 on there. >> So, she's a liar and a thief. >> So, he texts her. He's like, "Did you. maybe accidentally take my $33 Starbucks. gift card in my hat?" And she blocks. him. Then a guy named Kang, he goes on a. date with a girl on [music] White Day. These are all very relevant stories, okay? He goes on a date on White Day, holiday where men give candy to women. It's [music] like Valentine's Day, >> okay? >> But White Day, right? And they meet in.

front of the woman's university station, the train station. They grab coffee and. the whole time she's like randomly. pouring her heart out about how. difficult her childhood upbringing has. been. It's a little bit jarring because. they just met and she's almost in tears. about how abusive her father is. and he. does feel bad, but also he doesn't. really know how to respond because it's. out of the blue. So, he's like, "There, there." He's trying to comfort her, but. also like, "I want to go." He tries to. maneuver the situation so he can leave. And it seems like she catches on because.

she starts coughing and banging on her. chest and she's like dramatically. grabbing onto him, coughing. >> He's trying to run away from the date. >> Yeah. He's like, "Are you okay? My. chest, it feels tight." He takes her to. a nearby clinic. He's contemplating. leaving her at the clinic, but he's. like, "God, I just feel bad. I [music]. guess I'll just stay." So, he wastes his. time waiting around for her to be seen. by the doctor, and then she's crying. about how miserable her life is. He then. takes her to the pharmacy to pay for her. prescription, which sounds really. romantic in America because a.

prescription is like 10 trillion without. insurance. In Korea, it's like a few. dollars. Okay. So, he's trying to pay. for the $3 medicine. and she's boom boom. vitamins, tampons, herbal drinks, lip. balm. And he's like, "I'm not paying for. that. I'm not paying for $67 worth of. shenanigans. I'm just trying to pay for. your $3 medication.". And she's like, "Well, I need these to. feel better, too." He's so thrown off. He says, "No, I I'm just paying for the.

prescription." She's pissed. She storms. off. He's left confused, but also she. did take the $3 prescription that he. paid for and he stormed out of there. like he's the problem. Another guy named Frank, super relevant, I'm telling you. Okay. Goes to a. restaurant date. South Korea. >> How many guys are there? >> So many guys. Okay. And they're all. coming out and they're like, "Let me. tell you. Let me tell you." Okay. He. leaves his wallet on the table, goes to. the restroom. This is South Korea. You. know what you do in Korea? You go into a. restaurant and you pick a table you like.

and you put your phone and your wallet, your most valuable pieces of items on. the table to claim it as yours. Nobody. steals it. Nobody steals it. That's just. how you claim a table. He leaves his. wallet on the table. His date is at the. table, too. >> Yeah. And there's like bajillion CCTV. cameras everywhere. So, nobody really. steals. >> Yeah. Nobody steals. So, then he goes to. the restroom. He comes back and he's. about to pay for the dinner. And all the. cash in his wallet is gone. Like, not. even just one bill. All the bills are. gone. But his wallet is still there. his. credit cards are still there. So he's.

like what? He asks the date. Do you know. if like somebody just like came by and. took the cash? She's like, "No, I have. no idea what you're talking about." They. check the security camera because it's. Korea and she's just pocketing the cash. and she's the crazier part is she's. standing there watching the CCTV camera. footage with them and then she's just. staring at them like, "And what are you. going to do about it?". >> So what did they do? She gave the cash. back and then stormed out of there like. he was the problem.

>> Wow. >> Okay, we're almost done with these crazy. dates, but there's this guy named. Patrick, too. And this Patrick guy, he's. like, I should have known she was a. problem because the minute that we. started texting, she sent me a list of. restaurants I really like to go to. All. $4 money signs. Not even like a variety. Like sometimes you got to throw in some. variety, right? No, all expensive. And. she's just like has this weird obsession. with food. She's messaging him non-stop. I love all kinds of meat. By the way,

meat is pretty expensive in Korea. Grilled chicken thigh, pork belly, thick. cut pork, black pork, beef, western. food. Love it all. I love anything with. meat. Okay. [music] He takes her out on. a date and during that date, they have. two full meals. At the end, she's like, "Can you buy me a hamburger and butterb. bread to take home?" [laughter]. It's like she has this enormous, insatiable obsession with food. And the. strange thing is, well, first of all, she doesn't pay for anything, which is. like a thing, but also on top of that, she never used the restroom. Like, they.

were out the whole day. Never used the. restroom. And he was like, "Hey, you. don't think I like I've I've peed like. 10 times since we've been on this date.". >> Yeah. >> Cuz it's like a 24-hour long. date. You haven't peed once. You think. that's weird? >> And she was like, "That's weird. I got. to go pee." And then she just like went. the minute that he pointed weird. Weird. Very weird. >> Okay. What is going on? >> So weird. So all these people, they're. like, I don't know what's going on. But.

what happens is I meet a girl at a. hunting bar, go on a date with her, and. it's been weird. >> Oh, they all met at this hunting bar. Soon it will be revealed that every. single one of these guys, they find out. that they were on a date with the same. woman. And she will be all over the news. for being a serial killer who kills her. dates. >> A serial killer. >> That's what they're calling her in. Korea. Sam, this is a pseudonym. He's. about ready to go on a date. He's. already told his close friends about.

this girl that he's going to meet. They've been texting back and forth, and. she seems like the type of person that. he could see himself getting serious. with. He's at the age where he's. thinking about getting married. He's. been saving every single month to open. up his own restaurant. He's a chef and. he's really nervous about this date. He. gets on chat GBT and he looks up, "Can. you suggest what to say on a blind. date?" His date [music]. is also on chat GBT right before the. date asking questions. Her searches. include, "What is a lethal overdose of.

sleeping pills?" "If you take sleeping. pills with alcohol, can you die?" and. she's taking notes in her journal with. each date. This dose doesn't even kill. them. They wake up and become even more. of a nuisance to me. >> It's so crazy that we've entered the. chat GPT era. >> Yeah. >> Like every case now, like we constantly. talk about AI and chat GPT. >> Yeah, they're all searching some bizarre. things on GPT. >> Now, motel in Korea are not the same as. the United States. I feel like the word.

motel has a very strong connotation with. either affordable place to stay for the. night or usually a place where scary. things can happen just because of the. way the buildings were set up and the. locations. Korean motel are very. different in the sense that they're. everywhere. If you're on a street with. karaoke bars and clubs, there's going to. be a lot of motel. So, it's used by a. lot of passerby. So, business travelers, but also couples who still live with. their parents because uh in Korea, you. stay with your parents for quite a bit. of time before you get married. So, it's. not like you just go out and live on. your own where you can invite your. boyfriend or your girlfriend over and do.

things you would do in a loving, consensual adult relationship. So, couples will go to motel or couples who. have just met each other and don't know. each other's names and just want to have. a good one night stand, they'll go to a. motel. But motel are also used by. friends. A lot of friends, if they have. a gathering of 10 friends who want to. get drunk and play drinking games, but. they don't want to go to an. establishment and pay money for food and. service charge and tip and this and. that, they'll rent a motel room and just. hang out in the motel room as if it's. like a friend's house. >> Usually a younger crowd cuz maybe their.

apartments, they still live with their. parents or it's not enough space. So, they'll just rent a cheap motel room. It's not unusual and it certainly. doesn't have the sedier connotation. maybe American motel have. But the. police, they walk into this cramped. motel room. There is a man on the bed. laying on his side. He's rigid and he's. dead. Motel staff are hiding behind the. motel entry. We saw him because we were. trying to see if the room was ready for. checking out and we saw that there was. like stuff in his nose. I think we think.

he's dead. The police are glancing. around. There's nothing particularly. alarming about the room. There's no. signs of evident trauma. It doesn't. appear that he passed with a sign of a. struggle. There's no external injuries. This is not a self-exit. There's no. gunshot wounds, stab wounds, no. strangulation marks. There is, however, they're looking closely with their. flashlight. There's small amounts of. vomit in the mouth, airways. It looks. like it's there's some swelling. There's. some sort of congestion. That's about.

the only thing they can find. And that. and his phone and a bottle on the. nightstand. They're like, "What is. that?" It's a It's a bottle of hangover. medication. It's like a detox drink that. you consume if you want to avoid being. hung over the next day. You can buy it. at like the corner store. It's not. really effective. Maybe it's more so the. placebo. I'm sure it's got lots of. electrolytes, so it hydrates you a. little bit better than water, but it's. nothing that serious. I mean, nothing. that would cause him to have some sort. of medical reaction, that's for sure. Has his phone been checked? There is an.

unopened message on this man's phone and. it's a very lengthy message and it's. from a girl. It reads, "Oh, so I. suddenly got my period and I felt like I. couldn't fall asleep in the motel room, so I decided to go home and you had. given me that watt of cash earlier for. the taxi fair, which by the way, our. photo booth pictures were folded inside. of it. I'll give that back to you next. time we meet. Anyway, thanks for giving. me the money for the cab so I wouldn't. be cold getting home. Oh, and also, you. ordered fried chicken using my phone and. we were watching a movie when your eyes. glazed over and you suddenly fell. asleep. I don't know if you remember,

but when the food was about to arrive, I. tried to wake you up a little bit, and. you wanted to go back to sleep again. I. told you not to sleep, but you seemed. tired and kept wanting to sleep. So, I. asked you what to do about the fried. chicken, and you said to eat it all by. myself and just to take it home. So, since eating in the motel room alone. while you're sleeping seemed lonely, I. thought I would just take it back home. and eat it at home before work. I packed. it all up and left. It just felt lonely. eating alone while you were asleep. Next. time, let's just go out to eat together. That sounds very goofy. Like you're just.

It's like a confession note almost. >> Yeah. You don't have to be an. investigator to think that this is. weird. Usually people don't say things. like, "Well, A happened, so then you. said B, and remember how I said C, and. now this is D, and now E, and so. thanks." You just say, "Hey, thanks for. the night.". >> Yeah, >> this looks like meeting notes or a cover. your ass email after a meeting where you. told everyone you knew something was not. a good idea if they kept doing that and. they kept doing that anyway. That's what. it sounds like. But then there's another. message, a picture from inside the taxi. So it's like a girl is sitting in the.

back of the taxi taking a picture with. the words, "I'm in the taxi heading. home. I know you got the room because. you wanted to hang out together, but. like I said, I happen to be on the. period, so a lot of stomach cramps." And. I had no pads. Then you gave me the wad. of cash for the taxi and treated me to. food, so thank you. >> Just weird. >> The police are like, "Who was in the. motel room with him?" The motel staff. said, "Well, I mean, there was this um. there was this woman." So, they came in. last night. He walked in with this. woman. They didn't seem that drunk or.

anything. They just seemed normal, like. a normal couple. And then, I think a. little bit while after that, some guy. delivered fried chicken. And then, like. 10 minutes after the fried chicken was. delivered, the woman left alone. The. man's body is taken to a medical. examiner and it shows that he was. drugged. These are all the drugs found. in his system. three different types of. anti-depressants, sleeping pills, a benzoazipene sedative, a cardiovascular drug, a Tylenol, and an. antihistamine. And these are just the.

different types. It's not like the. different pill. In fact, the amount of. drugs found in his body, it was like 50. pills of different types of drugs. What? >> So, it's only three different types of. anti-depressants, but it could have been. four pills of each anti-depressant. It's. like a pharmaceutical cocktail. And a. lot of them are prescription medications. which a doctor states the drugs found in. his blood were essentially a standard. pharmaceutical toolkit for a patient. presenting with depression or sleeping. disorders. So this is we got to find. someone who was prescribed these things.

because they were able to give this to. him, administer it to him. And these are. not fun drugs. This is not a situation. where some people decide that they're. going to try prescription drugs for fun. and get high and then they overdosed. These are not fun drugs. and drugs are. very controlled in. >> So according to his records, he does not. have depression or sleeping disorder and. he was not prescribed any of these. medications and it's just an obscene. amount of pills in his system and the. police know that they have a big big. problem on their hands because a.

homicide case in South Korea in Soul is. already very very bad. It's a big deal. In Soul there is about one homicide per. week if even that. >> What? >> And this is the second one. Yeah. Okay. In comparison, I think in New York. there's about 10 a week. New York City. >> Wow. >> I mean, there's a lot more self-exits. and other death deaths, but in the. manner homicide is about one a week. And. this is the second one. Not this week, but the second one with the same.

pattern. Young man in his 20s passed out. in a motel room, drugged, deceased by. the morning. Motel staff discover and. motel staff report that he had walked in. with a woman who quickly left after. checking in. It happened just 11 days. earlier, which one would imagine it's. only a matter of time before another. person ends up dead in a motel room. Police start investigating and they come. across a man. [music] He's alive barely, but he might know something. Police talk. to him now that he's feeling better. He.

had spent 2 days in the hospital. unconscious. What happened? Was he in a. motel room? Did he wake up in a motel. room? He's like, "No, December 14th, 2025." Noon. It's like 11:20 a.m. >> When was the previous one found dead? >> January and February. >> Oh, this one was a month ago. Okay. >> So, he's like, I was in the parking lot. of this bakery with my girlfriend and. that's all I remember. That's it. Well, that and she gave me this drink. Was it. a hangover recovery drink? Like a detox.

drink? No, it was like a herbal medicine. for fatigue cuz I've been really tired. with work. I drank it and then I don't. remember anything else. I woke up in the. hospital 2 days later. I was out for two. days. He wakes up and he texts her, "What did you put in that drink?" The. doctor told my mom twice that I could. have never woken up. Like it was that. bad. The bakery, the owner, the. employees, they've all been shaking in. their boots, frightened beyond. comprehension because they assumed it. was something they did with the baked. goods by accident. I mean, it was a very. dramatic scene. the ambulance showed up.

It doesn't make sense, but I'm alive now. and I have no idea what happened and she. won't talk to me. And the police are. taking notes and they ask if that woman. if his girlfriend looks familiar to the. woman in the two motel CCTV footages. He's like, "Yeah, that's my girlfriend.". Well, ex-girlfriend, 20-year-old Kim Hoyong. 20. >> 20. [music]. There is only one rule in this story. Survive. In the new Netflix film Apex,

Charize Theren is Sasha, a woman testing. her limits in the Australian wilderness. But what starts as a test of endurance. turns into a deadly game with a ruthless. and lethal predator played by Taran. Edertton, whose familiarity with the. landscape gives him a chilling. advantage. For Sasha, every decision is. a matter of survival, but her resilience. and intelligence make her a force to be. reckoned with. Watch Apex now, only on. Netflix.

And she's not a hard woman to find. In. fact, she's not even hiding. Police. arrest her at her house and just 30. minutes before her arrest, she had just. posted another selfie on Instagram. And. in the motel footage, her face is out. and about. It's not like she's wearing a. mask in hiding and then she's just on. Instagram posting her face and all of. these selfies. She posts a lot of. selfies on Instagram. She's always. pouting at the camera while subtly but. not subtly emphasizing her cleavage with. the hashtag # followers welcome. #coolton tone beauty followforollow.

mutual follow likes DM. They bring her. in for questioning and she innocently. tells them I don't I didn't know they. died. I didn't think it was that. dangerous because I also take these meds. myself. They're like, "Why would you give them. meds that they're not prescribed?" And. she said that she was just drugging. these men because she didn't like. dealing with conflict. She's like, "I'm. so conflict adverse. I was just trying. to put them to sleep." She's saying, you. know, they would spend hundreds of. dollars buying me food and I'm assuming.

that they want to do it afterwards and I. don't want to do it, so I would just put. them to sleep. She's like, I just didn't. want them to be like a nuisance and try. to, you know, initiate these intimate. relations with me, so I would drug them. And I guess two of them just happen to. die. >> So, she does admit to. >> Yeah. >> killing them. Okay. >> A post starts going viral in South. Korea, and it's clearly a very, very. distraught man, and he's asking for. advice. Would it be so bad to be pen. pals with the motel killer? Hear me out.

She's pretty. Normally, it's not easy to. date someone that pretty. If she gets. life in prison, maybe I could write. letters, put some money in her. commissary, visit her every now and. then. I had a pen pal with a regular. female inmate before. She would call me. babe and act all cute while writing. And. then she got out and started cheating on. me, so we broke up and I was devastated. But with someone serving life, which I'm. assuming she's going to get life in. prison, [music] right? She can't go. anywhere. She'd be in prison forever.

Isn't it actually like kind of okay. keeping in touch just until she dies? After Kim Soyong's arrest, Netzens start. circulating pictures of her most recent. Instagram pictures, her photo shoots, and they have dubbed her I mean the. police have dubbed her a serial killer, even though I think in the US it's like. three people or more have to be victims. But there are two victims and she also. drugged countless other guys who. thankfully survived. but they've dubbed. her the motel serial killer and nizens. in South Korea have dubbed her the. prettiest killer alive. In Korea,

there's a whole legal process of. releasing identities of perpetrators, even if they're adults. There has to be. certain criteria met. So, the. prosecutors have yet to release. Kimyong's age and name. They have now, but at this point in the story, they. haven't released her name yet. But. nitizens are quick. They're spreading. her social media pages on internet. forums, and it's not exactly the. reaction that people were expecting. Cuz. usually when people start outing. perpetrators, it's like a wave of hate. But people are like, "Wo, she's so. pretty." Nizens also noticed that in her.

Instagram post, she doesn't have a. single picture with anybody else. None. Not even one where she's sitting at a. restaurant and someone is sitting next. to her, but she covers their face. She. has zero pictures with anybody else. People are saying this is kind of odd. She doesn't have any friends. She. doesn't have any family, but she's going. on so many dates. This is weird. Other. people are saying that she seems to have. a fixation on this song that is now in. hindsight a little bit creepy. It's. called Damon's Year by Josie and the. translated lyrics read, "Whenever you. look at the moon, your eyes get bigger.".

Which people are like, "This sounds like. when people are really drugged up. [music] looking at the reflection in. your eyes. What you love is the same as. me. I see you without knowing the. flowers are blooming, hugging your fine. shadow, kissing you like it's the last. time. Let's not get old. Take it all so. there's no regrets. Leave nothing. behind, my love. Good night, my crying. love. And in between her second victim's. death and her arrest, she posted 41. Instagram stories and posts. She's. obsessed with posting online. But the.

thing that becomes almost a second crime. is what I said. Everyone thinks that she. [music] is the prettiest killer alive. And by everyone, I mean just like a. small portion of the internet. And. they're very loud about it. men in South. Korea were going to vouch for her in the. comments. Like, if you just release her. to me, I'm sure I could fix her for you. She's got like the girl next door look, slightly innocent way, except all of her. Instagram pictures show lots of. cleavage. So, like her face looks. innocent, but her boobs are always out. All the pictures are angled, so it's.

like the main focal point is her chest. It's usually from the top down angle. That's the type of picture that she. likes to post. And some men in Korea. really, really, really want to save her. [music] So, for the past 4 months, Kim. Toyong has been very busy and they don't. care. So, the police are like, "Hey. guys, stop with this nonsense. We're. just going to let you know what this. crazy lady has been doing so you know. what you're dealing with." October 25th, 2025, at a restaurant in Kangnam, a man. named H collapses while drinking white.

wine with Hoyong. She calls 911 or the. emergency line. He was just drinking. white wine and just suddenly collapsed. Yeah, just come quickly. She's so. nonchalant. Employee says the whole. thing was weird. I clocked in at 5:00. p.m. There was a couple at one of the. tables. Man was slumped over asleep on. the table. At first, I thought nothing. of it. But then 30 minutes later, he's. still like that. So, I'm like, "Okay, something is clearly wrong." I. approached them. I just figured up until. this point, if the woman needed help. genuinely, she would have asked for it. But when I went over to ask her if she.

needs help, she told me he was passed. out drunk. So, I asked her, "Is that. your boyfriend?" She says, "We've only. been dating for like 2 days. I don't. even know his drinking tolerance." The. server checks the tab. They only had two. glasses of wine ordered to the table. And the glass of wine in front of the. boyfriend is has a lot of wine left in. it. It just felt off. Do you want me to. call the emergency line for you? Sure. She calls the emergency dispatch, hands. it to Soyong, and Soong's like, "I. barely know the guy. We were just. drinking white wine and he passed out.".

2 months later, December 14th, 2025, 11:20 a.m. So tries to kill her. boyfriend, ex-boyfriend in the bakery. parking lot. He's hospitalized for 2. days, unconscious, and she's there. playing the doting girlfriend. But when. she gets home, she writes in her. journal, specifically that day. Dose. only knocked him out. It didn't [music]. kill him. January 24th, 2026, a man is. in a karaoke bar with a girl he just. met, private room, collapses on the. ground. 911 is called. She says, "He. just won't wake up. I didn't know what.

to do. I just met him. I'm here for the. first time on a date. I don't even know. his home address. Like, how am I. supposed to take him home? The ambulance. comes. And side note, the owner of this. karaoke bar said the woman, she paid and. she tried to leave alone without the. man. And the man wouldn't wake up no. matter how much we shook him. And it's. actually company policy. If you come and. get a private room, you can't leave any. of your friends drunk. You have to take. them with you because the business. doesn't want to be liable for these. drunk people who are passed out in these. private rooms. and she's telling us just. wake him up and kick him out when you.

have the chance. We're like, "No, our. policy says you cannot leave your. companions." So, I told her that and. that's when she rolls your eyes and she. called emergency dispatch. There's a guy. here who's really drunk and I keep. trying to wake him up and he won't get. up. He's had way too much to drink. I. don't even know where he lives. This is. my first time meeting him. Are you. trying to take him home or are you. trying to take him to the hospital? I. don't know. I don't know where he lives. Like I said, I just met him today. Okay, we'll send medical and police. Her fifth. and sixth victims were both found dead. in motel rooms, and the method of.

killing was the same in both, the. hangover drinks in Korea. They're sold. at every convenience store they're. marketed as helping your body process. alcohol faster. It's like a detox. Toy. would go home and using the back of her. kitchen knife, she would crush up all of. her prescription pills that she is. prescribed for PTSD. She uses a piece of. paper, funnels them into the hangover. drink, and throws those in her purse for. dates. And when she goes on a date, and what's. crazy about these dates is nobody. approaches her. She religiously goes to.

the hunting bars looking for dates. She's always on Instagram at local. community posts and writing things like, "You like bullying? I like bullying, too. We should bowl together on random. guys pages. She's initiating these. dates. Once she goes on the date, she'll. be drinking with the men and she'll look. up with them with a warm smile and say, "Oh, I have something for you." Remember. how I mentioned in our text messages, I. always get really bad hangovers for work. and [music] it sucks. Which, by the way, the police found evidence of these types. of messages? She would say these things. before the date. Well, I always carry.

around these hangover detox drinks to. just make sure the hangover isn't bad. Here, you should try one. Instead of. sobering up, these men would take the. hangover drink. They would suddenly. start feeling nauseous as if the world. is getting distorted. [music] Their. stomachs would start turning. Their. tongues get stiff. They can't talk. They. lose consciousness. and Soong [music]. would just stare at them. There's no. particular blend of prescription pills. that Toy cared about. It's not like she. was some sick [music] twisted. pharmacist. She just took whatever she. could get that was strong. She would. collect prescription pills. They call it.

medical shopping. So, it's when you go. around to various psych psychiatric. clinics to get prescription meds and. just pick up at variousarmacies. And there's no sort of regulated system. in Korea where certain drugs can be. bypassed. Obviously, you're not going to. get controlled substances. I imagine. like in the US it would be easier to get. maybe two different SSRIs prescribed. versus getting two aderall prescriptions. cuz it's not a controlled substance. The. SSRIs.

>> there's not much of an oversight system. that can prevent people from doing this. And she's just experimenting with. different dosages and increasing the. concentration to affect the victims. It's like she's researching. And the. weirdest part of each crime is her. obsession with food. She's obsessed with. food. All she does on these dates is. consume and order large quantities of. food. It's not even like she. It's weird. She likes the food, but it. seems like she likes the idea of food. more. It's almost like she likes the.

idea of spending every single dollar she. can get out of these men. Like for. example, just to give you an idea, the. fried chicken that she ordered, well, first of all, that was after her second. victim died in the motel room. She was. laying there as he's dying on the motel. bed, took his credit card and ordered. fried chicken to the motel room and. waited in the motel room while he's. actively dying in the motel bed for the. fried chicken order. And this is a huge. order with 22 items cuz I feel like with.

inflation in the US, $100 worth of fried. chicken sounds like a lot of fried. chicken, but just to give you an idea of. how much chicken it really is. 2 and 1/2. chickens in four different flavors. Tokpoki instant rice drinks sauces black. cheese ball extra devil sauce red pepper. mayo sauce bottle big cheese stick. instant rice oil toki onion ranch sauce. extracolor ball three-piece Coke zero. times two extra rice cakes potato wedges. red pepper mayo sauce big bottle. >> all of that. >> Yeah, >> for $60.

>> Yeah. And the delivery guy, he remembers. Kimoyong, too. He's delivering the fried. chicken. And well, by the way, the. owners of the fried chicken shop, they. were so excited because business has. been slow. This is one of their biggest. orders. So, they were really excited to. get the fried chicken hot to the motel. And the driver is like, they're all on. the same page. They're rushing to get it. there. And he goes and he's like, "I. feel like I have the wrong address. because this is enough to feed honestly. 10 people. 10 people could eat this. fried chicken and be full." And so, he's. expecting some sort of crazy party in. the motel room. The door opens, no. sound, no TV on, nothing. Dead silent.

And Kimoyong, she has the weirdest blank. expression on her face. It's so entirely. blank. It's not not smiling. It's not. angry. It's just empty. He doesn't know. how to explain it. It's just empty. Her. blank expression. It's freaky. And he's. like, "It's heavy. It's a lot of fried. chicken.". Yeah. And she just takes it and closes. the door. He was like, "It was so It was. just unsettling.".

But even with all this information, there are some netizens who believe that. she can't be evil because look at her. Instagram pictures and she's only 20. Why would she need to be a serial. killer? Netzens started holding on to. dear life on the one statement that she. made to the police that she wanted to. avoid confrontation with men. So some. people are like maybe the men were. asking for it. >> So okay, a couple questions, right? Is. she just a liar? Why is she lying about. she like making her age older and. >> she's Yeah, I think she's a pathological. liar. >> Just li like to Okay.

>> Yeah. >> And then you were saying like the. journal she's writing, oh this didn't. kill him. Are there more? Yeah, she's. just talking about dosages but nothing. else in her journal. >> Okay, so that's the only information we. have. Did she didn't write after she. killed someone, she didn't write, oh. that I that worked or whatever. >> I think she did, but it was very simple. like it worked. Doubling dosage next. time. Some people are saying maybe she. genuinely thought maybe these guys were. being sexually pushy and she just. thought that she could make them pass. out so that she wouldn't have to be. pressured to have intimate relations.

with them after the date. Comments read, "He was a stranger that followed her. you know, he kind of asked for it. The. guy must have been acting up for her to. want to sedate him. She takes the same. pills herself. She probably didn't think. that he would die. She said he was she. was just trying to put him to sleep. There must have been a reason. Like, I'm. curious about her past. But the doctor. who worked on this case, they state even. if she only wanted to sedate these men, she would have only needed one sleeping. pill. Why was there a cocktail of. anti-depressants and other drugs on top. of that? The combination clearly goes. beyond what's needed for sleep. Little.

by little, people start putting in tips. and more information about Kim Soyong's. entire family and childhood start coming. out. Her dad was violent. He would come. home drunk, assault their mother, urinate, and defecate everywhere in the. house. She seems to have some level of. PTSD as described by her doctor. Dad. leaves. Mom works through the night to. support two kids, but that doesn't mean. that she can just go kill people. And on. top of that, there's just a lot of. alarming stories coming out. She dropped. out of middle school, later was expelled. from high school. Even part-time jobs, a.

lot of her former employees and bosses, like co-workers and bosses, would come. out and they said she got fired and. couldn't hold down a job for such a long. time. She would consistently manipulate. co-workers against each other and just. cause so much dysfunction in the. workplace, it was impossible. She. suffered from physical and verbal abuse. from her childhood, but that doesn't. really negate any of the things that she. did. Stories from her childhood just. start piling on. And people say, "If. she's around, your glasses, your wallet,

your lipstick that you've been using for. 3 years, like it doesn't matter how old. or useless these items were, they would. just disappear." Like this girl has. sticky fingers. One girl got her AirPods. stolen in middle school and she goes on. to Carrot, which is like eBay, but or. like Facebook Marketplace to just buy. another pair of used ones because she's. like, I don't want to buy new AirPods. She goes on there and someone is selling. one that looks exactly like hers. I. don't know if she had like a sticker on. there, but what are the odds? So, the. girl goes to her home room teacher in. middle school and she's like, I want to. do a sting operation. I'm pissed off. I.

want to go and act like I'm buying these. used AirPods and I want to see who's. selling my stolen AirPods. They arrive. to the meeting spot and guess who it is? Middle schoolyear-old Kim Hoyong. And. they're asking her like, "How could you. do something like this?" And her. reaction is so blank. She just says, "Yeah, whatever. You want it back or. not?" And hands the AirPods back. Speaking of resale, people found her. Carrot website, like her account. She.

has over 100 items listed on sale for. Carrot and suspiciously they're all. men's clothes. And it's not even that. expensive. There would be like a $56. blazer, a $19 button-up, a $23 shirt. There's a lot of interesting things. happening there. But the one thing about. the middle school, the AirPods, is she. distinctly remembers her AirPods got. stolen. So is caught selling them. She. gets expelled from middle school, kicked. out, transferred, and Soyong is the one. that goes and unfollows everyone from. middle school on social media. Not only. that, she blocks them. She mass blocks.

them as if they all stole from her. Another story comes out about a girl. that went to a club with Kimuyang and. she said, "I immediately just got a. really bad vibe from her." She was. always asking me really invasive. questions like, "I'm so jealous you have. your own place. How much money do you. have? Why can't I just come live with. you? Why don't you introduce me to a. boyfriend?" Later at a youth facility, Kimong meets this Uni, which is like an. older sister figure. And one day the. uni's wallet and AirPods go missing and.

she tells Kimoyang about it and Kimuyong. has this really punan attitude. It's. [sighs] I guess audacious would be a. similar word. Not really. There's a. little more nuance to the Korean word, but perhaps. And she would just look at. the onion and say, "That sucks. I'm so. sorry. If I even had a dollar to my. name, I would offer it to you.". >> What? It's just like a really weird It's. just like a really weird thing to say. Like what do you what do you mean if. even if I had a dollar to my name, I.

would offer it to you. But not as weird. as when they check the cameras and they. realize Kimo is the one that stole from. her. The wallet she returns. And then. the on is like, "Well, my AirPods, you. took my AirPods, too." I don't have them. anymore. What did you do with them? Did. you sell them? No. I crushed them up and. I flushed them down the toilet. That's not the only thing that she would. steal. She would steal straight up. pictures, photos of other people hanging. out and then pretend that they were her. own and post them on her own Instagram. One other girl says. >> she would literally screenshot every.

story that I posted and then repost it. as if it were her Instagram story. When. confronted about it, Soong would tell. her that she's doing it to get revenge. on an ex-boyfriend and then she just. went and blocked everybody. Sometimes. she would message these like she would. unblock the girls that she hates and. then write in their comments, "Fuck off. you piece of shit." And it's like, "You. block me." Sometimes she would write, "God, you look so sleazy. So sleazy.". Another comment is quote, "Your face has. some fat in it and all your features are.

buried in the fat.". But with that, there are still comments. supporting. Some people are saying, "She. just wants to meet a boyfriend, and. dating is so hard in this day and age. She just felt used by men. She just. wanted real genuine connection. Comments. about the way she looks reads, "She's. like really pretty." She looks I mean I. would drink the drink immediately too. She has genuinely beautiful eyes. Like. they're sharp and yet beautiful and just. like breathtaking.

In a world where everyone kills each. other, she just happened to get caught. I don't really think we should think. much into it. Pretty face, well put. together, she's [music] got interest, just wanting love. I mean, she looks. exactly like a typical girl her age. Looking through all her social media. posts, it's sad that there's not a. single picture with another person, you. know? [music]. It seems like maybe she's lonely. I. mean, she's got to serve her time. But I. hope she gets to live a second life in. genuine [music] reflection. She's a true. beauty. The meme in Korea suddenly.

became, "If she's pretty, she must be. forgiven." There is a checkpoint in. Korea that has to be met for the. identity of a perpetrator to be. disclosed. The method of the crime has. to be brutal. There has to be. significant harm caused. There must be. sufficient evidence to believe the. suspect committed the crime. And there. must be public interest, which there's. enough information that she definitely. committed these crimes. There is public. interest. It's significant harm. She. killed two people. But the brutal part, the prosecutors state the manner of the. death and the killings was not brutal.

They think, you know, you got to behead. someone in order for that to be. considered brutal. There's a lot of. cases where someone was dismembered and. that was up for debate about whether the. perpetrator's identity should be. released. That type of statement, the. victim's families were besides. themselves. They exploded. The internet. rallied behind them. Like, how dare you. decide if something is brutal or not. These people were killed and their. families are now they have to watch. everybody say, "Look how pretty she is. Look how pretty she is. There's no. accountability. Like, what the hell are. you guys doing?" Police, they won't.

release it. So, the public are like, "We. got to do something. This causes a whole. stir and finally because you can't put. the toothpaste back in the tube. Everybody's already seen her pictures on. social media. Victim's family are upset. Under that pressure, the prosecutors. release Kimong's name, age, and her. mugsh shot photos, and there is almost a. collective silence in South Korea. The. comments read, "I think they arrested. the wrong person. Are we sure these. aren't two different suspects?" Other. people are commenting, "This level of.

editing she does for her photos would. bankrupt AI. It would use too many. resources to sustain that just for her. Instagram page. Others are saying, "So. everybody looks like a supermodel on. Instagram and I don't see a single one. of them on the street. The retouching on. her photos must be insane.". >> People went from defending her because. she was the prettiest killer alive to. now hating her because she's ugly in her. mug shots. >> Really? Yeah. Like she looks completely. different. >> Completely different. If her Instagram. photo and her mug shot photos, I would. say absolutely not. They're not even.

related. They're not even sisters. So. she's catfishing people. Yeah. Too. >> nizens decide that Kim Toyang, And this. is where it gets crazy. Okay. A lot of. male netizens created a ranking of all. the recent female killers. >> In South Korea, their Instagram picture. and then their real mug shot. And people. decide that Kimong is actually ranked on. the uglier side of the female killers in. South Korea. >> Yeah. I don't know why they made that. ranking, but one person comments, "We. were tricked by the photo fillers.". Looks completely different from her.

Instagram. I take everything I said. about her back. Others say she looks way. older than 20. Another comment reads, and this got a lot of likes. Add some. fraud charges, too. And a lot of women. were very upset, rightfully, and they. were commenting, "Korean men cannot go a. single day without rating a woman's. looks." But Kimoyang is not going down. without a fight. She starts releasing, and there the trial is happening this. month for this case in Korea. Okay, >> she starts releasing letters in prison.

to journalists, begging journalists to. air her words. A lot of people believe. that she's manipulative and she's. writing some crazy things. Every single. letter reminds me of that very. narcissistic person that you probably. have encountered in your life at some. point or another. You tell them, "Hey, narcissistic person, I didn't really. enjoy it when you called me really ugly. and disgusting to look at and then. punched me in the face and then tried to. ruin my life. So like maybe you cannot.

do that ever again." And they go, "Oh, sorry. I'll just go kill myself." And. you're like, "Okay, well that's not what. I said at all, is that?" All of her. letters are written like this. This is. direct quotes. I should have died just. when my dad was beating me. I should. have just died then. I should have. self-exited. Even when I took those. online depression tests, it put me at. the death stage, the most severe level. Why did I call my mom asking help for. surviving when I fell into the ocean as. a kid? I should have just drowned. I.

should have just disappeared where. nobody could have ever found me. Even. then, my mom pulled me out of the water. thinking that I was going to drown deep. and submerged like that. But I survived. When I choked on that piece of candy as. a kid and couldn't breathe, I should. have just died. Even then, if my mom. hadn't done the Heimlick maneuver, the. candy would have stayed stuck and I. would have died without being able to. breathe. But I survived. Like, what? She. starts describing how she used to try. and self-exit and how she's annoyed that. it didn't succeed. And like, coming from. someone who has been in dark places in. her life, like this, I don't see this to.

be true at all. Like, the fact that. she's like, "When I choked on a piece of. candy when I was a kid, I should have. just died then. It's so manipulative.". She continues, "I should have just let. myself get stabbed by the knife that my. dad threw at me. I should have just run. into it. Then my mom wouldn't have to. stay up all night blocking the door with. her body all night to protect my sister. and me, putting herself through all of. that. If I had just been stabbed by his. knife back then, there would have been. none of this pain now. It would have. been so much easier for me. Then my mom. and sister could live better lives and I. couldn't protect them. Everyone probably. wants me dead anyway. If I'm going to.

get life in prison anyway, if I'm going. to spend my whole life without seeing my. family, I would rather die. Living. scares me. If I had died back then, would I have been at peace? Would my. mother and sister have had life a bit. easier? Then she writes another letter to the. journalist and she's like, "You got to. air these letters." By the way, the. journalist is like, "Okay, I will." I. think she genuinely thinks that she is. manipulating the public. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> But nobody's buying it at this point. [clears throat]. >> Everyone's like, "Are you dumb?". >> Like, what's happening? Another letter. reads, "I miss my mom. I'm scared. I.

want to be next to her. I want her to. hold me. Please don't abandon me. I'm. desperately, gut-wrenchingly regretful. I will faithfully accept punishment for. what I did wrong. I'm sorry for. shattering everyone's ordinary lives. Right now, I have two feelings fighting. inside of me. Wanting to die because. it's all so hard, and wanting to live. Mom, I need to eat your cooking one more. time before I die. No one believes me, and I have no one in my corner. I know. y'all all probably just hear it as. excuses, but I'll write down the general. gist of what I want to say. Even when I. try to hold back tears, every single day. is hard and terrifying. I'm crying all. the time. I'm drained and exhausted. I.

don't want to live anymore. I'm someone. with a lot of questions. And this is my. first time inside a detention center and. there's so much I want to ask, but. everyone is busy and I can't even get. anyone to answer. It's so suffocating. It's hard. I ask and then I get no. response. Being separated from my family. in a place I've never been before, my. heart just rots and tears apart every. day. Every single day. The fact that the. garbage who calls himself my dad is. watching my face in this case play out. in the media makes me feel sick. All. this media coverage is torture. My. identity being made public and everybody.

recognize me is just so hard. Just being. separated from my mom is devastating. And I can't sleep. I cry every day. I'm. so worn out from crying. >> It's like gibberish. >> Yeah. >> It's like she couldn't make up what she. wanted to say. Like one point she wanted. to play sad, one point she wanted to. play this, and then she was like. complaining about this. >> Yeah. Because I think she's trying so. hard to not write down her real. thoughts. >> Yeah. >> She's like, there's no one to open up. to, no place to talk about the pain I'm. carrying as a suspect. I wish they would. expand the counseling services inside.

detention centers. It's just so hard. Then she writes, "The journalist is. like, "Okay, enough. Like, enough about. this. I'm not going to air any more. letters like this. Can you tell me why. you did what you did?" They just tell me. that. And she writes, "I'm not denying. that I didn't give him the drugs, but I. want to properly explain why I did it.". Because I was scared of being essayed. No one ever listens to my side, and it's. so hard. I never thought and wanted to. kill someone. I was just so scared that. they would essay me and keep me there. and not let me go. And in a moment of. poor judgment, I mixed the drug into. hangover drink, gave it to them, put.

them to sleep. I was so traumatized and. scared. I just wanted them to fall. asleep so I could leave. And then once. they were soaring, I would just leave. I. had absolutely no idea that they would. die. I had no plan. I had no intention. to kill. I brought these hangover drinks. with me to protect myself just in case. I had absolutely no idea that it would. end up killing someone. I just wish that. I had ended up as nothing more than a. victim. Then none of this would have. blown up like this. Like no one would be. suffering like this. I'm so sorry for. the victims and their families and to my. own family. I was so scared and. terrified. I should have just been the.

victim and nothing more. She's like, I. should have just been essayed by them. Which, by the way, none of these men, and I am the last person to like root. for men and going on dates with people. that you've never met before. Like, trust me, none of these men were trying. to essay her evidenced by the text. messages. She is the one begging them to. get a motel room because the restaurant. that she wants to try is delivery only. It's not like she goes on a date and. they spend all this money and then. they're like, "Let's go to a motel.". >> So premeditated. >> Yes. >> Try to kill them in a motel [music].

room. >> Premeditated. She's always asking for a. motel. Always. She's the one that brings. it up repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly. And it's not this spur-of. the- moment where she carries her. sleeping pills with her because that's. her prescription medication. She grinds. them up, puts them in the hangover. drink. And not only that, you know how. there in one of the motel rooms, there's. a hangover for drink on the side that. gets tested, it comes back clean, no. drugs. She carries multiple bottles, one. with drugs and one that's clean. She. pours out the clean one and leaves it so.

that when police test it later, it comes. back clean. >> Wa. >> And you're telling me there's no. premeditation? She's writing in her. journal the dosage didn't knock him out. It was only a nuisance because he kept. waking up. >> But do we know her motive? Is it is it. money? Is it. >> money? >> It's pretty much money, right? Stealing. >> Yeah. The reporter sends her another. letter asking, "What thoughts take up. most of your time inside prison? Like, how has your outlook on life changed. since the incident?" And she rambles.

briefly about her sister and mom before. responding, "Why are so many strangers. sending me letters? Honestly, these. people are really weird. Um, why has my. life been so rough? You know, I think. about that. If I could turn back time, I. would. Does everyone want me dead? Can I. survive inside of here? I'm just so. exhausted. When I was little, if I had. just let my dad stab me with that knife, none of this would have happened. No one. would be suffering. Media coverage is. truly terrifying. Like, I get it now why. people would self-exit from it. Nobody's.

on my side. Nobody's going to help me. Am I a psychopath? I'm going to die in. here without seeing my family. Why is my. mom not visiting? This is so hard. Why. did I do that? I'm scared. I miss my. mom. She continues to rant. Mental. health treatment for suspects needs to. be expanded. Counseling inside detention. centers should be available all the. time, as often as needed. Please listen. to what suspects have to say. The media. reports so much without actually knowing. the facts. I think that kind of. reporting can kill people, can kill.

suspects. [laughter]. >> What the. >> Yeah, I don't know what to say. Even the. top comments about her strange letters. read, "She seems like she has very low. IQ based on how she writes, and it looks. like she also has some sort of victim. complex, too. Going to have a rough time. in that prison." That one. Another one. reads, "She'll probably try the same. routine in prison, playing the victim, crying poor in me, you know, turning. trying to turn people against each. other, and she'll get dealt with. accordingly." Another reads, "Hey, if.

there's one person out there reading. this letter thinking, wait, could she be. telling the truth?" You got to be. careful because people like her, everything that comes out of her mouth. is a lie except when she's breathing. Some people are defending her writing, saying she didn't want to get assaulted. She just wanted to hang out, put them to. sleep, and leave. That doesn't qualify. as premeditated murder. Maybe she's just. dumb and didn't realize 50 pills was. going to kill them. >> They wrote 50 pills. >> Yeah, >> 50 pills. >> Yeah. >> Okay. But that is also not applicable. because there are other chat GPT.

questions that she had asked where she. writes, "What happens when you take. sleeping pills and drink alcohol at the. same time? If someone takes a lot of. sleeping pills, will they die?" In the. police report, they included the exact. response that she received. And they. were like, "Yeah, you're going to die. You cannot do that." And the worst part. is there is a lot of anger with the. police right now. So her very first. killing was 11 days before her second. killing. After the very first killing, they were able to find the motel CCTV. footage and they found that it's Kimong.

linked to the incident. They called Kim. Hoyong and they were going to arrange. for a time for her to come in for a. police interview. >> and during that time she killed another. person. >> Yeah. I guess they thought it was oh. there's no way that she killed him. Maybe he was doing drugs. They were. thinking of all these things and they. didn't think that it would be that. pertinent to go investigate immediately. But they could have very easily. prevented the second death. >> and they didn't. And then on top of. that, the victim's families are upset. because all this rhetoric online is,

"Oh, well the men were asking for it. because they were probably going to. essay her." And it's like, "No, they. weren't. They weren't even the ones that. wanted to get a motel." She. specifically, there's so many messages. between the two victims where she's. like, "You get the motel room. You get. the motel room. Oh, my favorite. restaurant only delivers. They don't do. dining in. You have to get a motel room. Get this motel room. A lot of people are. confused about the motive. I think the. motive is um money, but it's a small. amount of money and food that it's. puzzling to people, but experts [music].

say that she treated victims like a test. subject. They're not human beings to. her. They're just objects, and she. controls them, studies them, experiments, and then just discards at. her own will. That's it. She's going to. be on trial for two counts of murder, aggravated assault, and violation of the. Narcotics [music] Control Act. Keemong. has written to a very close source in. jail that she's scared of getting life. in prison and the fact that people are. calling her a psychopath. >> Psychopath, huh?

>> Yeah. And then she told this insider. that she's really upset about the food. in prison. She says, "Sometimes I eat. it, sometimes I don't because it's not. very good.". >> Interesting. The food obsession. And. that is where we are with this case. One. netizen comment reads, "The fact that. she killed people over a few chicken. dinners, not even millions of dollars, is is disturbing." Other people are. saying she killed them so she could eat. fried chicken by herself. I'm so. confused what this world is turning. into. So with that, what are your. thoughts on this case? Let me know in.

the comments, and I'll see you in the. next one. Stay [music] safe.
